This has to be the greatest sporting event I have ever attended. The outer trackside is buzzing with people who don't have track-side tickets, all eagerly anticipating the opportunity to see the worlds greatest drivers on the first ever night race.
Marina Bay has undergone a years worth of asphalt relaying to produce the perfect track for the night. And what a great site it is (sorry, please excuse the pun).
The cars were lined up on the starting blocks, engines were roaring and as soon as the cars took off, everybody who had turned up roared and cheered their favourite teams as they battled it out on the Marina Bay night circuit.
The noise is the most intense sound I have ever heard. When the cars break from 300 kmph to 120 kmph for the corner i was stood on the crashing of the break pads is deafening. Then the cars speeds off back down the straight. All of this was taking place in a matter of 5 seconds. I have videos of the cars flying past and I'll be sure to link them. It really is incredible.
A huge night in Grand Prix, with Massa driving off with his fuel pump still attached and Hamilton looking to have guaranteed himself the championship, it really was a historic night. And I was there to experience it, completely by chance.
Super!
Tomorrow i fly to Brisbane! Can't wait...
